Made by real people

City Gates is built and maintained by Nathan Clark and Matt Kirkland, web designer-developers in San Diego. When you work with City Gates, you'll be working with people that care about the success of your ministry.

We built City Gates for our churches.

City Gates started as a project to make our own church websites better - churches we've grown up in and been a part of for years. We built an easy-to-use content management system so ministry workers could use the church website as a way to strengthen their community, and updating the site became super-easy. We added smart ways to aggregate the site's data - so site visitors could get a simple birds-eye view of what's going on at church. The project went so well, we decided to share it. We think every church should have a first-class website - and we're committed to making that happen.
